And So I Begin

The last few months have been quite interesting.  With all of my thoughts and emotions all over the place, I thought maybe it'd be a good idea to start blogging.  Don't get too excited if you are reading this - I'm not much of a writer.  Moving across the country, away from pretty much everyone you know, sure can be an emotional rollercoaster.  I'm just going to keep it simple and sweet today by listing a few things that have been stressing me and a few (hopefully a ton!) of things that I'm thankful for.

Let's get the bad out of the way - 

-No teaching job.  Obviously one of the biggest stresses in my life currently.

-Money.  

-Boredom.  

-My looks.

-Myasthenia gravis

-No furry little creatures (live ones, at least) to keep me company.

-Living forever away from so many of my lifelines

Blessings

-Shelter

-Good enough health.

-Enough money to survive

-Bob, my parents, my friends.

-Harvard and my other animals...I mean, c'mon...that's obvious. ;)

-A WONDERFUL part time job.

-Great co-workers

-Grocery shopping with Bob

-Living in Seattle

-Farmer's markets

-Being certified to teach in Washington

-Ingrid Michaelson

-Unlimited texts and phone calls to my loved ones

Well, my mission was to have more pros than cons, and I have succeeded.  I've also succeeded in taking up a little more of my free time tonight, so I would say I've at least been successful.  Win for the night.
